One slow motion jagged tear
found me after you left me here.
Its wetness still sits upon my face
as I stare at absolutely no place.
What I do live and what I dream
and all sundries fitting in between,
now struggle in a frenzied dance
passing thru, in and out, this circumstance.
My brain is mush circling a clueless groove.
Surely, I need an enlightened next move.
Calm failed to enter when you shut the door,
and life as I knew it quit being anymore.
I simply cannot find my identity.
Maybe it left with you and my clarity.
I seek to ease a primal urge to shout
at frenzied thoughts dashing about.
Perhaps I knew years had grown weeds
while I prayed for fertilized love seeds.
Perhaps I knew time long held this bleed
while I prayed true love would succeed.
Dear L,
It’s nice to hear from you,
I like knowing what’s going on in your life,
Even if we don’t really talk about a lot.
I like hearing about how you and your partner are doing,
I like hearing that you’re happy.
It’s nice to know you’ve found your person,
I used to wish I could go back and change things,
But I don’t think that anymore.
I’m happy for you, I truly am.
I know we’ll lose contact someday,
but I’ll still think about you from time to time,
Because I consider you one of my best friends
and I am very happy I met you.
Dear L,
thank you.
I loved you
but I lost
you,
I lost you
to the halls
of my
heart,
oh I
couldn't
find you
my art,
now I
know my
blood... is
you!
I loved you
but I lost
you
I lost you
to the
atmosphere,
yet I feel
you
everywhere,
oh the air I
breath in
is you!
I loved love
but I lost
you,
I lost you
to the
sweet
skies,
yet I
always see
you at
sunrise,
now my
day starts
with you.
I love you
and I lost
you to
tears,
not waters
but the
juice of joy,
love
became
our errand
boy,
you are
right here
in the
coming
years.
I loved
you, while
my life last,
my
warmth in
winter... is
you,
a treasure
so timeless
and true,
in you I
see a
future in
my past.

Adeite.
A memory never she forgot
The hold you had
as we rolled
A green glade
sun shine a shadow it made
Our lips touched
A love was made,
Two hearts lost
They shared for a brief time
Lost their way in a mad mixed up world,
Like fate a friend
Brought them back again
Kindled love fear afraid,
Lost in a heartbeat
A lost love found new,
A heart still beats
But lost in the past.
You're different, but in an
elegant way
I mean we're not even
together, but you still enlighten
my day.
You fear of letting your heart
ascend,
So to you, I'm just a 'kind of
friend'.
Hopes of love for you are low,
But infinite smiles are headed
towards you, that I know.
You think little of what makes
you cry,
You have little of what makes
you cry, in happiness those
content tears are often dry.
Maybe little but you have tried
So because of, your notions
died.
Stubborn? Yes you are
Despite love's distance is never
far,
In amidst neglecting you reside
Because everyone worthy for
you seem subpar.
You'd think Love's sun has lost
its shine
And romantic songs has lost
their rhyme
So even if this is the first time,
I'll be glad to say
Smile beautifully Happy
Valentines Day.
I was lost in the moment
lost within her eyes
shinning like a star
staring at me
trying to say something
yet, I cannot understand
may be something
which was never meant for me
to understand
its seems so vast
so powerful
its stop everything
I feel heavy inside
I miss her more
I want her more
I can't take my eyes of her
even I'm forbid to
I'm lost in the beauty and the
expression in her eyes
it reminds me of every single moment
I spend with her
I find it rolling across her
dark grey eyes
strong feelings
very strong
in her eyes
Molly was young when she flew out my door,
A spirited grey cockatiel, lost forever more.
My daughter sat by her cage placed on the front lawn,
She waited patiently for Molly to return, near until dawn.
Well, my cockatiel was found some fifty miles away,
Someone read the “lost posters”, a very happy day.
I placed my hand on the steering wheel and saw the sparkle missing,
My diamond ring had lost a stone, which sent me reminiscing.
Months later while I was driving my boss to an important meeting,
She noticed a small piece of glitter hiding underneath my seating.
Lucky to get back these valuable things from missing pets to diamond rings.
How important I thought it was back then, to find these very significant things.
But when I lost my Aunt, Dad and Mom, although memories always with me,
Forever lost is the most important thing, the unconditional love of a family.
Written July 20, 2011
im not sure if its healing or if ive simply learned to cope with the hole you left in my
soul...part of me feels guilty for trying to move on like im being unfaithful to my
heart..accepting this is it between us but holding on to hope that eventually we'll
regain the realationship we lost in pride..time seems to pass with out meaning and
ive lost track of my purpose here..friendship?ha! just another empty word used to
fill the title of this strange realationship weve come to develope..your words mean
nothing except everything to me,searching for your voice in the back of my
head,your face etched into my eye lids..ill never forget you.....
When the beating Heart, is Bleeding; and Your Life spills on the ground
Will a Broken Heart ; Forever live in sorrow : until new LOVE is found
Are the tears, of despair : I’ve cried, lost in the Past : or are they still around
Is there a magic potion; to change sadness into glee : a new LOVE to be Crowned
How does one suchere, the scars of a lost LOVE
To Be Cont.
With LOVE , FOREVER and ALWAYS, YOUR Liege… HG ( Harry )
Dedicated to TRUE LOVE
Here we see love once lost in the tumbles,
Coming swiftly from above the skies,
Towards the sea we lodged in rain of just,
To warm cherish our thoughts to sail by lust,
Beneath our souls to the garden of blues.
Here now we find get it from the clouds,
Thy long wounded broken love needs change,
On the sea sailed with oath to hold,
With tireless returns it blossoms for unfold,
Where untamed it stands naturally to glow.
Here its some miles we came shipping,
Seeking such love we had in those tender hoods,
Thy loves once threaten and loosened,
Certainly lost and now strangely contained,
To refine and to renew it once it smells olds.
Here magically risen to conquer ‘n to sooth,
Every injured feeling within for victory,
Underneath the flowers to tread by candle,
With every hope in the living hearts to handle,
Beneath our souls to the garden of blues.
I found my long lost friend
I found my long lost love
We message, here and there
Now, for more than a year.
Pictures of your life
Pictures of mine.
Miles and miles seperate us
Still they interwine.
Day after day I check your page
A stalker I became
My life was put on hold
Facebook, you? had control
So with a glass of wine, or two
and with a heavy heart
I have to delete you ...my old friend
I hope you uderstand!
You were a different kind
Quite disturbing
Not very kind
A cold heart stole your soul
I could not look in your eyes
You stole everything from me
You were so cruel
I lost my faith in you
I lost my trust
I could not love you back
There was nothing left
Pain and misery robbed our relationship
A tornado descructive to the only path
We had no future
A loss of hope
No wedding bells to celebrate
Just bitter hell
That I choose to let go
And live without.
“Just like a raindrop”
I think
It rolls down my cheek
I gasp for air
Why?
What had I done
to deserve the sharp stab
of a knife into my heart
I wipe my eyes
My make-up smudges
Another gasp of air
I cry, thinking
of all we could be,
thinking of all
we could be
of all we would’ve been.
My tears are forcing me
to wander the desert of lost
hopes, lost love.
Why does letting go hurt so much?
Its MY decision
It’s MY life
So why am I crying?
What if?
I sit and wonder, What if?
If only I was not a toy to you.
I was a shiny toy who lost her luster.
I lost my affection from you.
I’m just a toy, an island of misfit toy.
You never really cared about me enough to want to fight for a future.
Just a toy discarded after minutes of play.
A little piece of plastic that was played with for a short while
Until you decided I’m bored and walked away.
My feelings, hopes, and dreams had no say in this.
Even though you would think because I was part of this mixture I would have.
But you never know how the world is going to turn
Good or bad, you lose all you have.
So why do I feel pain, in all of this?
Why do I wonder if ill ever stop loving you?
Why after all this pain I still want you?
After all you’re the one who discarded me.
You’re the one who didn’t want me.
So why do I wait, and wonder?
What if?
The diamonds of the twilight…
They sparkle in the sky
Testifying of my solemn place
In this my somber time
So lost without you, a dying ember into a falling sky
Growing cold and so very dim
Crash landing within this maze of a God forsaken life
Any hope for joy to cling too is all together grim
From a distance among the crowds
Everywhere, go I, I feel your smiling face
When I see you in the drifting clouds
Splendor sets the pace
But, then the freezing rains
Fall callous, way too many tears
Seasons run together, never do any change
Drifting aimlessly through muddled years
These questions I forever whisper to myself
How do I leave the heart break behind?
Stop the memories from twisting the knife?
Or recollections of your sweetness now lost in another time
